How do you like the feel of that neck now?

TBD! Matt said it definitely can't go any further. Messing around at home won't tell me anything. I need to feel it in the thick of things with the band.
If that’s at all likely, I’ll start with the volume pedal pulled back a bit. I also have a boost available on the pre. Never mind the OD pedal…Weird how that happens.
I can’t even find the ‘3 dots’ thingy.Occasionally I find it helpful to indicate I'm not intending to be critical or snarky
And today somehow they are available on some of my replies, but greyed out on others
On iPhone though
Your killing me!

That's a decent price for a decent bass! Only missing the bridge cover. Seriously, for a short-scale as long as a T-bird - these are great sounding basses! My '65 B-200 Del Rey started a whole building trend for me!

I got an alert saying there are some functions that have been disabled due to some problem.
I liked every Mesa I've ever played. But go home with the Ashdown. That one seems to be one made in the UK.I save myself trouble and only use my Macbook. Also makes bass porn more porny.
Y'all have graciously put up with my whining about the '06 Thunderbird. (The LaBella Black Nylons Chuck recommended were a huge help once on.) So you are way overdue for some praise other than that which has already been given to it. I used it last night with the ABM. I was speechless how, not good, but fantastic it sounded. It was like sonic sex you never want to end (but always does). I was really astounded by how good it sounded. Tube gain full (breaking up but not distorted), upper sliders up just a bit and Wow! Sounded great with fingers or pick. The bottom doesn't drop much with that bass when using a pick, but still sound like a using a pick. I did use the Sonic Maximizer about half the time. It in no way needed it, but I did prefer it being on. Didn't even use my Genzler which is virtually on all the time. It wasn't '64 Thunderbird good, but nothing is. Not only do I want to play it because it feels so great, now I want to hear it as well. One off's can be...one offs, but if the next use is anything like that from last night....wow!

I came close to buying a 400+ for $650 many years ago. Would love to play through one.
